A panel of Israeli cabinet ministers has approved their own legislation to steal (annex) the Jordan Valley region of the West Bank, the world's largest open air prison.UK BANNED Press TV: The legislation, backed by far-right members of the ruling Likud
party, was endorsed on Sunday, just days ahead of US Secretary of State
John Kerry’s scheduled visit to the Middle East to push talks between
Tel Aviv and the Palestinian Authority.If it becomes law, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be
unable to accept the US proposal to put the Jordan Valley under
Palestinian control. Israeli Justice Minister Tzipi Livni, who leads negotiations with the
Palestinian Authority, challenged the motion, saying she would use her
powers to block the legislation from being voted on in the parliament. Israel occupied and then stole (annexed) the West Bank and East al-Quds in
the Six-Day Massacre of 1967, but the move has never been recognized by the
international community.

By Paul Elam:Six months ago, I stepped outfrom the shadows of the United States
Government’s National Security Agency to stand in front of a
journalist’s camera.Espionage Whistleblower Edward Snowden to Seek Asylum in BrazilI shared with the world evidence proving some governments are
building a world-wide surveillance system to secretly track how we live,
who we talk to, and what we say.I went in front of that camera with open eyes, knowing that the
decision would cost me family and my home, and would risk my life. I was
motivated by a belief that the citizens of the world deserve to
understand the system in which they live.My greatest fear was that no one would listen to my warning. Never
have I been so glad to have been so wrong. The reaction in certain
countries has been particularly inspiring to me, and Brazil is certainly
one of those.At the NSA, I witnessed with growing alarm the surveillance of whole
populations without any suspicion of wrongdoing, and it threatens to
become the greatest human rights challenge of our time.

By Michael Krieger: For a while now, I have been highlighting the fact that it is an
absolute no brainer for small businesses to accept Bitcoin. Not only are
you providing your customers with another method of payment with
essentially zero downside (if you use a payment processor such as BitPay
or Coinbase), it is the best free PR you could ever achieve. Back in
November I wrote the following in my article You Can Now Buy a Plane Ticket with Bitcoin:Notice the CEO’s comment about people coming to his site just
because of Bitcoin. This is undoubtedly true, and as I have mentioned
before on several occasions, it is a no brainer for a small business to
accept bitcoin. It is early enough in the adoption phase that it will
still drive tremendous press and buzz for your business and make you
look technologically savvy.It seems many businesses in NYC are finally recognizing the upside. According to the New York Post:Sure, its value might rise and fall by the day, but some
small-business owners in New York City are buying into bitcoin by
accepting the buzzed-about currency at their brick-and-mortar locations.
They’re saying the benefits are many, and the disadvantages are next to
none.

By Robert St. Estephe: While the poster (left) advertises a classic
movie from the 1940′s, its theme was based on a very real social malady
spanning the length of the 20th century. It was the alimony racket that
inspired the first organized resistance in the United States to
government-sponsored misandry. The first of many anti-alimony
organizations was formed in New York City on 1927. (see “Robert Ecob: Early MHRA“).
Newspapers regularly recount horror stories of men whose lives were
ruined by women who demanded to be supported by ex-husbands and,
research has revealed, wives enjoyed the power to demand an ex-husband’s
incarceration at will when he could not afford to pay up– even when the
former wife had no need for the funds (see “The Alimony War of 1935” for the results of this research). It was in
1933 that a young Italian immigrant, a humble bricklayer by the name of
Umberto Politano, became the poster boy of the New York anti-alimony
activists with his story of a de facto “life sentence” to jail
for failing to live up to his briefly-wedded wife’s demand that he
support her and the Italian relatives she imported.

Testosterone Pit: There is n emerging crisis in Turkey that will
set the investment terrain for 2014. This week, we feel the subject
warrants more investigation as Prime Minister Erdogan, the Justice and
Development Party (AKP) and the business elite attached to them have
become targets of a very focused corruption scandal that Erdogan may not
survive—and that should shake investor confidence to its core.

A
series of raids and 60 arrests have Erdogan thinking that he is the
real target of the corruption probe—and he is not mistaken. This is what
happens when you take on the Gulenists as we noted last week.

The
corruption probe is targeting Erdogan’s allies first—those AKP fellows
in key ministries, and key dynasties with whom Erdogan and the AKP are
close to.

A day after the raids and arrests Erdogan reshuffled
his Cabinet, replacing 10 ministers. Erdogan’s reshuffle has only fueled
the fires—similar to those that burned all last summer in the form of
the Gezi Park protests—with the opposition accusing him of trying to
create a secret “deep state” of authoritarian rule. Indeed, Erdogan is
hoping that the new Cabinet will be solidly loyal during the ensuing
probe.

Submitted by Tyler Durden: When Bitcoin fans were hoping for fast track adoption by the mainstream, catching the attention of the all-seeing eye of Sauron
Goldman Sachs was probably low on their list of action items. Yet that
is precisely what they got with the arrival of a Goldman Sachs board
member M. Michele Burns, who recently joined the board of Boston-based
Bitcoin payment processing system startup Circle Internet Financial.

As Fortune reports "Circle
launched earlier this year, and was founded by Jeremy Allaire, who has
led other Internet start-ups, but recently has become a Bitcoin
evangelist. The company got $9 million in funding from a number of
venture capitalist firms. Jim Breyer, a partner at Accel and an early
backer of Facebook (FB), is also on Circle's board, as is Raj Date, who
recently left a top post at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Circle declined to comment about Burns. Two sources with knowledge of
her move confirmed it."Perhaps of same or greater importance is that in addition to being
the chair of the audit committee at the preeminent FDIC-backed hedge
fund, Burns also was a board member of the largest retailer in the
world, Walmart (WMT accepting BTC?), and is currently on the board of
the one company that is at the nexus of the Internet economy, Cisco
(and which was punished furiously following Snowden's NSA-spying
revelations after projected Chinese revenues imploded and that Cisco may or may not have been collaborating with the government in leaking private data).

By Michael Conzachi: While
writing this, I just got an email update that the Military Justice
Improvement Act has been passed in congress and is on its way to being
signed by the President as part of the National Defense Authorization
Act. I am going to have to do some digging to see exactly what changes
and amendments have been made. Initially, it looks like the worst case
scenario. MCAs we have seen so many times before, military standards for females are reduced in order for them to be “equal.”The United States Marine Corps quietly announced recently on social
media that the current requirement for female Marines to do a minimum of
three (3) pull-ups as part of their training by January 1, 2014 has
been delayed for another year. Currently, females are not required to
do even a single pull-up, but rather a test called a “flexed-arm hang”
in which they can score points based on the amount of time that they can
hang from a pull-up bar absent any gear. A maximum score can be
obtained if they hang for 70 seconds with their chin over the bar.

By Forty Two: I was flicking through the Daily Mail the other day and this headline/title caught my eye.

“I cut my ex out of our daughter’s life. Now I’m glad he fought tooth and nail to see her”

Sally Windsor ends the peace with “If James
hadn’t fought me in court, Ruby wouldn’t be the delightful, clever,
kind and happy child she is today. I’m just glad I eventually saw
through my own resentment and hurt—and put my child first” During the
article sally talks about the benefits of her child having contact with
her father, and is grateful James has forgiven her for making him fight
tooth and nail just to see his child. In all probability Sally believes
she has produced something that extolls the merits of allowing a father
access to his child and has in some way moved the plight of fathers
seeking access to their children forward. However, there is something
much deeper held within her words.

Sally’s story goes along the lines of,
after a traumatic birth and failing to bond with her daughter, sleepless
nights arguments started. So in order to make a better life for the
child she failed to bond with she moved out with the child. She cut her
ex partner out of her life and made it impossible for the parent that
had bonded with his child, she states “I ignored his calls, I refused to
answer the door and slandered him to anyone who would listen. I told
everyone he was a awful father;

By Abed Alloush:In a few days, Greece will assume the six-month rotating presidency of the EU and German media openly doubt Greece’s capability to effectively handle all the European challenges that lay ahead. Despite the fact that the Greek Prime Minister, Antonis Samaras, appears reassuring towards Greece’s economic recovery, many German agencies are at least skeptical for the assumption of the European Presidency by a country in a memorandum that has avoided bankruptcy after receiving loans of billions of euros. Among other agencies, Deutsche Welle wonders how a country that is at the centre of the European economic crises could find solutions in serious European matters while simultaneously struggling to be relieved of the unbearable debt.“For a period of six months we want to become honest mediators and forget our national interests,” underlined the Greek deputy minister of Foreign Affairs, Dimitris Kourkoulas, and his team. He and his team are tasked with the preparations of the Greek Presidency in order for the country to cope with the European demands when the country takes the reins of the European Union.“The problematic child of the eurozone must prove that the worst is over for the country itself and the monetary union in general,” German Weser Kurier commented, according to Deutsche Welle.

RT:Hundreds of aggressive teenagers stormed a New York mall, trashing
stores and terrifying customers and personnel, local media report. Some
teens allegedly took part in a game of “knockout.” The mall briefly shut
down in response to the violence.More than 400 “fast and furious” teens reportedly stole cheap
items, smashed jars of candy and even beat up security guards at
Kings Plaza Shopping Center in Brooklyn between 5 pm and 7 pm on
Thursday. They used social media to set up the attack, designed
to put the mall “on tilt”.
“I’ve been here seven years and I have never seen anything
like this before — I’m so scared. I know they will come
back,” a clerk at Candy Plaza 2, Abu Taleb, told the New York Post.
“I was begging them to stop. There were a lot of kids,
hundreds of kids… [Security] would chase them out one door and
they would come back in another door,” the 31-year-old man
added.

Dear Reader

Are YOU Involved or Institutionalized? Our belief that the global economic crisis would persist and deepen is being vindicated and current events are now as clear as ever on the matter. Time for all of us to wake up, stand up and be counted or continue to lose all our liberties. Protect your homes and families. The sun will still rise but financial chaos and suffering due to the global fascist banksters' greed and corruption, slaughter due to the MIC's directed world wars in our name etc. is not pretty. We are feeling the effect on our society the size and like of which we have never known.

We are way past being surprised at the blanket suppression of this information by the BBC and main stream media propaganda machines. Information is clearly available elsewhere and unchallenged, accounts for a far more realistic rendition of what we have actually seen and what we continue to see develop, whilst the main stream news put out leaves many confused and bewildered, 99.9% of us wrong footed and the awakened indignant. As we can now see, the apparently 'soft fascist' powers that be aim to block these alternative avenues of information. Book up, "Long Live the Evolution."Feel free to kopimi. Angelo Agathangelou.

P.S. The MHRM, are calling out the constant misinformation disseminated by and maintain our open challenge especially to western radical feminists, to point out just one area where government in the UK, Europe or anywhere else in the English speaking world disadvantages women and girls when compared with men and boys, ...the wage disparity myth having long been debunked by serious academics and statisticians. So far this challenge has remained unanswered. Western feminism is obsolete.

George Orwell's Message: to everyone on the Internet

N.B.

These pages exist because we believe information from all perspectives should be aired, they do not necessarily reflect our views unless explicitly stated. We do not intend to cause offense, but we feel there is a need for such a shift in our society that to call it change rather than evolution would be an understatement. A velvet revolution towards living with reality for the individual, the family and society. A revolution towards living within our means and taking responsibility for ourselves, instead of mortgaging the future of our children to bloated leech faux democracy for the benefit of Ponzi 'banksters' and The Military Industrial Complex.
